Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), who’s running to be the first openly gay candidate elected to the U.S. Senate, hailed President Obama’s decision to endorse gay marriage in a statement posted to her campaign website Wednesday.
“I am proud of President Obama’s strong record of promoting fairness and equality. These are values I share, that we all share, and the pride I take in the president’s recognition today comes not just at a deeply personal level, but also because he has done the right thing for so many people. I am pleased that the president has today joined a growing number of people across the country who are moving forward on the issue of marriage equality and equal opportunity for all Americans.”
